PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Operation School Bell:
OSB is the signature program of Assistance
League; providing new clothes for children in need,
grades K-12. The schools identify the students and
we supply 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, sweatshirt, jacket,
underwear, socks and shoes to each child! Last year
we helped clothe over 600 kids! Wish you could see
their smiling faces!

P.O. Box 596 Astoria, OR 97103
Mission Statement:
Assistance League of the
Columbia Pacific is a non-profit
organization whose volunteer
efforts raise funds to assist children
in our Clatsop County
Communities.
Cinderella’s Closet:
Assistance League of the Columbia Pacific owns
over 280 fancy dresses! During Homecoming and
Prom season we set up a boutique and the high
school girls come “shopping” for something to wear
to the ‘ball’. We hope to make them all feel like
princesses!
Vision:
Athletic Participation Scholarships:
This program provides funds for sports fees and
appropriate gear; giving students an opportunity to
become involved in sports. This in turn allows children to receive all the benefits of being part of a team,
fostering friendships and building confidence. The goal is to promote the desire to stay in school.
Duffle Bags:
The Duffle Bag Program ensures that every Clatsop County child being placed into the Foster Care
system is given a duffle bag filled with comfort items such as pjs, a blanket, a stuffed animal, a book and
toiletries. This offers the child a bit of comfort in an uncertain time in their lives.
To be an effective resource in
the community responding to
services, delivery gaps and
emerging needs through volunteer
efforts and collaborative
partnerships.
